THE MEMORY OF LEE.
bichmOnd's Great Demonstration in
Honor Ofihc Confederate Chicfiian.

kichmond's Great Demonstration in
Honor Ofihc Confederate Chicfiian.
The laying of the cornerstone of the mon
ument erected to the memory of General
Robert +. Lee, took place at Richmond, Va,
under the most favorable auspices. The
event is marked one in the history of this
already historical city. The day selected by
the Lee Monument Association was the big
day of the State Fair, and was witnessed by
an immense number of visitors. probably the
largest gathering ever seen in Richmond.
Lee Camp, No. !, Confederate veterans, were
assigned the post Of honor, aud the commit.
tees from the camp having charge of the de
tails of the ceremonies have worked assidu-
ollsly for several weeks and their labors
resulted in most creditabe demonstration
Invitations were sent to many who fought on
the Union side duri1g the late war, and
nearly all were present.
Among the Ex Confederate Generals who
participated were Fitz Lee, now Governor OF
Virginia; Wade Hampton, Cooke, McCombe,
Cox, Walker, Early and others, while others,
including Beauregard and Longstreet, sent
letters of regret. Volunteer militia from
several of the Southern States as well as
those of the Confederate veterans were
present.
The Corner stone was laid by the Grand
Lodge of Virginia Masons, who were es-
corted by ono hundred and fifty mounted
Knights Templar and several hundred Blue
Lodge Masons. The programme also in
cluded grand military and civic procession
to the grounds, VIII ere an Grafton was deiv-
cred by Col. Charles Marshall, of Baltimore,
Gen. Lees adjutant general, and poem,
written by the late James Barren Hope, of
Norfolk, was read by Capt. w. Gordon
McCabe, Of Pitttsburg
The monument is erected just outside Of
the western corporate limits Of the city
overlooking the Confederate Svldiers' Home.
1t occupies position in the centre of what
will be known as Lee Park, the ground for
which was donated by the owner for this
purpose.

The value Of an engagement-rlng as
mark or seal OF promise OF marriage
has been decided on by the Supreme
Court of Missouri. In case of breach
Of promise, which had been appealed td
the Supreme Court, the defendant, the
man. relied on the return to him OF tht
engagement-ring by the plaintiff, to show
that she considered the engagement ter
minated. Her testimony showed that
she had resigned it under the pressure
of the defendants taunts, that he had
become tired of her and loved anothef
woman. whereat she was SO much dis
tresscd that she gave up the ring with
out knowing what she did. The court
held that the giving of the ring by tins
man was the seal Of an engagement oi
marriage, aud to extort its retarn through
force or fraud operated much the same
as an attempt 10 destroy or break any
other contract by similar means. fh'
court declares as follows: ''Ihc giving
up by the plaintiff Of her engagements
ring, thus wrung from her by the action
of the defendant, is not 10 be torture
into an agreement to rescind the con
tract which the defendant had ALREADY
refused to perform. BY his own action
he had left her no choice in the matter
There was nothing that she could d.
but accept the situation he made 10
her, abandon all hope Of the marriage
give up the symbol Of that hope, an6
seek such compensation in damages a
the law could give her for the injury sh
had suffered, without fault on her part
Al the hands Of the defendant" III
court affirmed judgment in favor Of tn
plaintiff.

Tie Five Per Cen. salts.

A decision has been rendered by the Su-
preme Court of the United States in three
cases OF the United States, appellant, against
the States of Louisiana, Alabama and Miss
issippi. These were suits brought in the
Court of Claims by the States named to re-
cover from the United States five per cent Of
the net proceeds of the sales Of public lands
within their limits, and also to recover in
demnity for swamp lands purchased by IN
dividuals, the proceeds Of which were by
statute directed to be applied as far as neces-
sary to the reclamation of such lands by
means of Levers and drains.
The United Stats maintained that the
Court Of Claims had no jurisdiction to de-
termine cause in which a State sued TIE
United States; that part Of the claims was
BARR by the Statute of Limitations, and
that the United States was entitled to make
a set-off or counter-claims on account of un-
paid direct taxes due from the States OF
Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi under
the Act of August 5, 1861. Tbs Court OF
Claims decided that it had jurisdiction; that
the disputed items were not barred by the
Statute Of Limitations, and the set-on or
counter cIaim could not be allowed. ms
Court affrms the Judgment Opinion by
Justice Field.

I.scascnant woodford, an Inspector OF

Department, has recently given some
interesting facts to the public with ref
srencc 10 the work of the Bureau. Many
pe1soass will be surprised TO hear that the
signal service Station on the top Of
Noaas Washington Is to be discontinued.
Il has slwavs becn interesting to watch
tho atmospheric changes as reported
from that station, but the authorities
have regarded these reports more as GU
rios5tics Than as being Of any practical
l,eac6s. The altitude is so great that the
,bAagcs there rarely affect the lower
atmospheric strata. The wind might be

wIPING OUT OLD SCORES.
Shiftless Fellow MIurders n Justice, the

A Shiftless Fellow Murders n Justice, the
mayor and Himself.
A shocking tragedy occurred at Maxwell,
Story county, Iowa, one which has plunged
that community into the deepest gloom.
Perry Ackers, shiftless fellow, started
out early in the evening. saying he was going
to "wipe out some old scores" He borrowed
a revolver from hardware store on the
pretence that he wanted to shoot dog.
He then went straight to the Office of Jus
tice of the Peace Schmetzer, and after asking
him, care you ready to take your medcinel
administered it without further explanation,
shooting him in the left lower jaw, the ball
passing down and out under the shoulder
blade.
Acker next entered the office Of Mayor
French, and stealing up behind him sent a
bullet into his braio. The Mayor never ut
tered word, but died within an hour
The murderer then passed into the street, his
c' ime as yet being unknown, and meeting
eovoFal oitisons no tallzOd in a threatening
manner about evening up old scores and
brandished his revolver freely.
Passing on to the entrance to Odd Fellows
Hall, he said "goodby" to the Postmaster, and
shot himself, dying Immediately.

The season of 1sS7wil be remembered
as one especially prolific ia fatal acci-
dents to Alpine tourists. Scarcely a week
passes that does not bring report of one
or more lives having been sacrificed to
the insatiate desire to scale one Of the
giddy peaks in the Bernese Oberland or
the Engadine, and, strange to say, each
accident but serves to increase the army
of climbers, so that finally the authorities
in the Canton Wallis have found it nee.
essary to take active measures to control
the rush of strangers, who, emboldened
by recent experiences, are fiocking up
into the glaciers without guides.

THE ETRADE OF rHE WEEK.
Business Depression, Notwishstandinr ths
Immense Increase ofthe Currency.

nnsiness Depression, N0twifh sta andinr the
Immense Increase ofthe Currency.
X. 9. Dunn & Cos review Of trade for the
week says; sIn spite of many favorable con-
ditions noted last week prices do not advance.
The treasury added sSS, ,OOO, 900 to the circula-
ton in September, and has added about s4.-
900, 200 since, and the Baltimore and Ohio
bargain has been ratified and Reading or
ganization has been insured, yet the prices OF
stocks fell on Wednesday to an average OF
SIT per share, the lowest since April and
May, 1886, and, excepting few weeks then.
the lowest for two years.
Wheat has lost every advance since Sen
tember 26, Corn for fortnight past. and
oats for month past have occasionally risen
Oil is higher, but transactions are insigriH;
cant. Coal is stronger because Of the strike,
statements OF exchanges for the past year and
quarter only conceal the fact that Of
late exchanges have bren falling behind
those of the last year, first at New York and
then at other chief cities and New England
manufacturing towns. In short, the theory
that more money er sures prosperity comes to
grief again. More than 107O00O0O have
been added to the circulation within the
past fourteen months, but speculation thus
stimulated has wrought much harm already
and clouded the future with doubt
While great activity and expansion were
witnessed in some branches of business othe-
ers exhibit symptoms of reaction. Steel
rails are again lower Sales were made last
week for "a, spring delivery, and some ma
kers are urging general stoppage of works
Pig iron, No foundry, continues scarce be-
cause Of the Lehigh coal strike, but lower
quotations came for gray forge and also for
bar iron
Encouraging statements Of exports in Sep
tember show that of beadstuffs, cot
ion, provisions, oil aud cattle the value was
9per cent greater thanin 1886 A large de
crease appears in wheat, but a noteworthy
increase in -four: of cattle and pork exports
a decrease OF one half, and there is a loss in
butter, cheese and oil, but gain Of 6, 900
dollars in exports of cotton. This month ex.
ports from New York show gain of31.a
per cent, against an increase of 10 per cent
III imports. Interior reports are uniformly
more favorable.
Though tight, money sstill reported from
some points; the pressuer is in most cases less
severe, and collections are rather better.
